Picking up those brushes again.

Hi and welcome to the occasional mutterings of Dave Doc, a military modeller and some time gamer. Gaming and model making has given me a real education, History & Geography(obvious really), Artistry, Politics, Economics, Logistics, Project Management -you try building miniature armies without the last 3.

I will use the blog to record my creations & the odd occasion I actually do some gaming.

I have always been inspired by the aesthetic side of gaming. Playing on well constructed terrain using excellently painted units is always a joy.

Gaming - Nam

 Today saw a run out to Pendraken miniatures HQ to use their games room. Martin and I have a table for The Other Partizan in October and we were throwing a few toys on the table today to tinker about with scenarios and rules- a Martin home brew set with influences from the other Nam sets we have played .

We had a downed Huey with a crew that needed rescuing along with a patrol on a sweep into a village .

We set up an 8x6 table -,we will use 12x6 in October . In addition we are playing a proper stoopid big one next year - we have plenty of terrain already . 


The table is set , with the helo having popped red smoke to indicate it’s position. Martin has been a busy boy on the terrain front . 

The NVA/VC would be event and dice driven and use blinds as well.

 
Martin has built a fire base - so we put it in the table. - a few bits to add yet . 

 

One of the rescue helicopters was downed by an RPG . It was getting messy . 

 

The security team managed to clear the area and the big old Chinook arrived .It shook off some AAA .

 

The Marines heading for the village took some casualties - they fired off a lot of ammo defending themselves - then bugged out with their casualties . Overall the Marines ended very reactive and didn’t follow through on the objectives . 

Martin and I chatted through some rule changes and sorted some extra that would be nice to get done for the game in October ,

Best bit was getting another day of gaming in .

    Oh yes! The table looks great. Hopefully we'll see it in the flesh at Partizan.
